FromSoftware launched a small replace for Elden Ring on July 4 that makes a couple of stability tweaks and issues some bug fixes to the sport within the wake of the discharge of the Shadow of the Erdtree growth. However these modifications had been overshadowed by rising frustration from gamers at From’s perspective to fixing the sport’s persistent performance issues.
On all platforms, however particularly PC, Elden Ring suffers from an inconsistent body fee that struggles to reliably hit 60 frames per second, even within the sport’s performance mode. However From has not often immediately addressed the issue in patches, usually suggesting gamers make tweaks themselves as an alternative.
Within the patch notes for update 1.12.3, From included a piece titled “Possible unstable performance fixes.” Right here, the developer instructed PlayStation 5 gamers experiencing unstable body charges reboot their consoles in protected mode and use the “rebuild database” possibility. PC gamers had been directed to disable third-party mouse functions and to make sure ray tracing hadn’t been unintentionally enabled. And From requested PC gamers seeing an unwarranted anti-cheat message to “please verify the integrity of the game’s files before restarting the game.”
“It’s absolutely wild to me that instead of patching performance they continue to recommend placebo fixes,” wrote one commenter on Reddit. “Performance issues? We think its you, yep. Now go ahead and do stuff no other game requires, because its your PCs/PS5 fault,” another wrote.
Gaming tech consultants Digital Foundry just lately revisited their evaluation of Elden Ring after Shadow of the Erdtree’s launch and located that “long-standing tech issues remain unaddressed.”
“Seemingly no good progress has been made […] after two years,” Digital Foundry reported. “Few developers match this studio’s craft in world-building and 3D combat. But on every platform, we’re seeing a developer that ignores key technical issues time and again. […] Shadow of the Erdtree’s release once again reminds us that obvious, persistent issues in the studio’s output are being overlooked.”
Elsewhere within the patch notes, From famous modifications it had really made to enhance the sport, together with nerfing the Swift Slash ability in player-versus-player fight, extending the throwing assault vary of the Smithscript Dagger and Cirque, and altering placement of the bosses within the second encounter with Golden Hippopotamus and Commander Gaius. From additionally fastened various bugs, together with one which induced enemies to heal themselves continuously after having their heath decreased by the Black Knife Tiche summon.
